Human lymphocytes have been used by several researchers to investigate the biological effect of electromagnetic fields (EMF). EMF modulate the response by lymphocytes to lectin stimulation. The size and direction of the effect depends both on the lymphocyte physiology and on the physical parameters characterizing the EMF. Lymphocytes have also been used to investigate the genotoxicity of EMF exposure.— Cadossi, R.; Bersani, F.; Cossarizza, A.; Zucchini, P.; Emilia, G.; Torelli, G.; Franceschi, C.
